a Quiet Little Game.
Il think ven have few games Of

Ii was an observation which filled me
with terror. for Mr.. Bowser is, to say the
+ lest, singular opponent in any game Of

Rather Hang Than be Talked
to Death.

Senator Blackburn, the genial Joe, is a
powerful talker. Some years ago, when
Mr. Blackburn was candidate for Con-
gress, there was TO be "a public hanging
in his district with thousands in atten-
dance, and he was among the distinguish
ed guests, and was on the platform with
the condemned and such newspaper men
as had survived the climate of Kentucky.
The drop was to occur at Il noon, and
ten minutes before that time the Sheriff
asked the hangee if he had anything to
say
"No, ] haven't" he answered in a surly
tone, for he was bad
Then Mr. Blackburn arose.
Mr.. Sheriff. he said, with all his
suavity and grace & | ask the gentleman
to yield me his unexpire time as have
few remarks TO make on question of
great political interest
The sheriff turned to his customer.
-" Well, may the gentleman speak? ?" he
asked
Not much,' he replied, with a growl !;
let the performance go on. I'd d
sight rather be hung than talked to
death"
The performance went on, and the fu-
ture senator corralled the crowd later.

Perhaps no local disease has puzzled
and batfled the medical profession more
than nasal catarrh. While not imm9di-
ately fatal it is among the most distressing
nauseous and disgusting ills the flesh is
heir to, and. the records show very few or
no cases of radical cure of chronic catarrh
by any of the multitude of modes of
treatment until the introduction of Ely's
Cream Balm few years ago. The sue
cess of this preparation has been most
gratifying and surprising.

Judge HoTe's Timely Interference in Behalf
of 1.-TWO Little Wards OF w. T. A. Bernhamer.

The habeas corpus proceedings which w. f.
A. Bernhamer instituted to get possession of his
wards, the Miller children, reached decision
yesterday, but the guardian had charge of the
boy and girl only three hours before the court
ordered him TO place them in the of the
sheriff. Judge Howe held that guardian had
control of the person of his ward as well as the
estate but that if guardian a proper
person. the Circuit Court was the tribunal
where the question should be settled 1t was
not within his jurisdiction keep him from
having the custody of his wards. It was find
ing for the plaintiff, and in it the Judge went
further by saying that this decision did not re-
fleet upon the defendant Anna NJ. Miller. the
sister of the children, and who had charge of
them.
Bernaner, under this decision began to
sert his rights and demanded that the children
should be given TO him once. The sister was
ioath to do this, and, as the Iitigants left the
court, Anna Miller. with her little brother and
sister, passed to her buggy the west side of
Delaware street Batn children got in, and
Bernhamer. soon appearing. asked to have the
boy passed out TO him. 1t 10 said the sister

TO pull the child out OF the buggy. The

him with violence. Bernhamer lost time in

THE SOLDIERS MONUMENT.
The Commissioners Decide to At Once Adj
vertise for Plans-Major Floyd's Defeat.

The Soldiers Monument Commissioners met
yesterday afternoon and discussed extensively
the prelimlnaries of their work. They seem to
regard the advice of the State officers that no
large expenditures be made at present as Of
fcious. It is their object they claim to proceed
with care in whatever they do, and the pro-
curement of designs is the first essential,
great amount of money will be required. It may
be year before there will be any
necessity to think about how the 5000, 600 appro-
priated for the monument shall be expended
The commissioners construe the act meaning
that this sum be expended on the
monument alone, aside from incidental
expenses. AS the latter for the coming year
will not amount to more than s.. 500, the COM
missioners think they are justified in doing all
that sum will allow. They will advertise at
once in the local and Eastern papers for de-
signs, and ir is thought six months will be
required to give architects time to complete tine
plans they may wish submit. Two months
or more will be necessary for the commissioners
to decide which is the best and most suitable
design. It is probable that year hence exca-
walton for the foundation will be made. The
commits sioners do intend go beyond this
until the 5000. 900 can be available

of having the committee to act in an advisory

Major Floyd's friends sorely disappointed
at his failure be elected secretary of the COM
mission. They say that he would have been
appointed commissioner had not the promise
been given that he woald secure the secretary

deny that any assurance was given in securing
their appointment to vote for Major Floyd.
